yessssaaaahhh.... I got the bolt off last night.
The hardware required:
(2) 10" 1/2" drive extensions (these came out past the wheel, so I was pulling outside the body of the car.
(1) 19mm 6pt deep socket (1/2" drive)
(1) 12" 1/2" drive braker bar
and the big dog:
(1) 5 foot length steel pipe
At first I was nervous with the ability to apply this much torque to a bolt. So, I started pulling, slowly at first. By the time I busted that bolt loose, I was really rocking back on the end of that cheater pipe. I can't imagine the amount of pressure that was being applied at the bolt. Anyway.... I'm very happy. On with the head gasket and timing belt job!! :thumbup:
My wife took some pics of the setup I had... I'll scan and post when I get them developed.
